Overview

  • WWE announced that Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12 in Atlanta will feature Goldberg challenging Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship as his last in-ring bout.
  • Goldberg returned on June 16’s Monday Night RAW and immediately issued a title challenge, marking his first WWE match since February 2022.
  • He responded to Bully Ray’s criticism of his instant title shot by invoking his 176-0 WCW streak and dismissing the notion that he needed to ‘stand in line.’
  • Gunther fueled tensions with an Instagram jab mocking Goldberg’s famously brief matches and offering ‘three minutes’ to settle the score.
  • Former WCW president Eric Bischoff defended Goldberg’s legacy on social media, crediting multiple collaborators, including Hulk Hogan, for shaping his success.
